Switching to electric vehicles

Oh man you had to go and tell everyone that it only goes 93 mph now no one will buy it because it isn’t the fastest car in the crowd who wants a slow car??? LMAO I don’t know if anyone watches the grand tour on amazon or not but the last episode where they raced the electric car compared to the gas was soo funny and so stupid at the same time. Captain Slow kicked Jeremy butt all the way up to about 100 but since the kept the race going to a speed you can’t drive on any road in the usa (atleast without risking running into a blue light special) they claimed that the electric car was slower. When for Any practical speed it was crazy faster with all that torque of the electric motor.
I was thinking it saids something that they can sell a car in Europe with a shorter range though. Here I drove about 45 miles to work everyday 90 miles round trip and I always figured I needed twice that range to be able to go somewhere after work and still get home. We really do live spread out lives in the usa but in our economy here there isn’t a good way around it that I can see. Unless you live in a city but I tried that it just isn’t me.
Sean I did know that there are battery heaters in the Tesla I didn’t mention them being there only because I wounder how much power or range it will suck back this time of year while you are at work for 10 hours. I know no company I worked for would provide an outside outlet for you to plug in. I have actually gone out at night and not been sure my duramax would actually start because it was soo cold. And before someone asks yes it had good batteries just gets that cold here at times.
